Ling Xi stared at the brazier in front of him, the scorching flames jumping in the brazier with the faint sound of burning charcoal, as if trying to warm the room. Ling Xi unconsciously stretched out a hand and hung above the brazier, and sure enough, the heat of the brazier was much warmer than the soup woman in her hand.

"Aunt An, things are doing well, this palace will fulfill its promise, but this palace will ask you again, is you the only one in the Qingfeng Garden?"

Ling Xi's insignificant words frightened An Sumei to her knees immediately, she really didn't know if there were still Xiao Xiangxiang's people in Qingfeng Garden, after all, Xiao Xiangxiang didn't ask her to do anything about the Drunken Cloud Pavilion, which also made her feel a little uneasy.

"Queen Mother, Concubine Xiao De really didn't tell the slave maid that there are other internal responses in Qingfeng Garden, but now Concubine Xiao De is used to spoiling the harem, and she has the heart to operate in the harem, it is easy for her to install some people in Qingfeng Garden."

After speaking, An Sumei raised her head and quietly glanced at Ling Xi, Ling Xi picked up the hot tea on the side with an expressionless face, and took a sip of tea casually, An Sumei was a little unsure whether Ling Xi believed her words.

"Aunt An, do you have anything else to hide from this palace?" Ling Xi asked lightly.

An Sumei immediately lowered her head, her flustered heart was about to jump to her throat, she tried her best to control her uneasy panic, and pretended to be calm and said: "Queen Mother, the slave maid knows everything, she has already said it, and she has nothing to hide from her mother. ”

With a bang, An Sumei slammed her head on the ground, and there was a pain on her forehead, as if only by doing so could she calm the panic in her heart, and she could quickly hide her heart that she couldn't even hide.

Ling Xi slowly came to the window, looking at the little snow outside the window, she thought that spring should be coming.

"After the beginning of spring, you go to the East Tailing Tomb of the Imperial Tomb to guard the tomb of the three princes, you go and clean it up, this road is very far."

An Sumei's nervous nerves relaxed slightly, she quickly thanked her and exited the house, she just came out of the house and couldn't help but look back at Ling Xi in front of the window, she breathed a sigh of relief, she would not appear in the harem in the future, and the glory and wealth had nothing to do with her, but she also stopped in the face of danger, maybe this is not a bad thing.

Aunt Yan didn't know when, she had already walked towards her, An Sumei cleaned up the expression on her face, blessed Aunt Yan slightly, and walked towards the backyard without saying a word.

Aunt Yan came to the room and saw Ling Xi standing in front of the window thoughtfully, she came to Ling Xi's side and said, "Niangniang, the slave maid has inquired, after Chen Xuan was twisted to the Feiyu Hall last night, His Majesty did not immediately interrogate Chen Xuan. ”

Ling Xi's eyebrows tightened, could it be that Xiang Hongxuan was suspicious in his heart, so he didn't interrogate Chen Xuan?

"Did something happen last night?"

"I heard that Princess Xiyue was not in good health last night, and His Majesty took Imperial Doctor Liu to Guanju Palace overnight and stayed all night."

Ling Xi sneered, Xiao Xiangxiang is this afraid? It dragged on overnight, so what?

"Aunt Yan, go to the Flying Feather Hall to guard, the death of the four princes today will definitely be water

Falling out. ”

After listening to Ling Xi's words, Aunt Yan didn't leave immediately, she said with some concern: "Niangniang, forget it, if you continue to toss like this, it will only be more and more unfavorable to you." ”

Ling Xi turned around, her twitching face seemed to tell Aunt Yan how much pain she had.

"Aunt Yan, this palace can't just be left like this, otherwise the third prince will blame this palace."

Aunt Yan took a few steps closer to Ling Xi, her hands held Ling Xi's hand tightly, and she said softly: "Niangniang, it's a pity that the timing is not right, it's been a night, maybe there will be a lot of stories in the Feiyu Palace this night, and Chen Xuan has too many secrets, in case it involves the death of several princes, Niangniang, you can't tell." ”

Ling Xi slowly withdrew her palm from Aunt Yan's hot palm, she turned around, continued to look out the window, and said coldly: "It's all come to this point, this palace wants to see, the incident happened suddenly, Xiao Xiangxiang can still cover the sky with one hand?" Is Chen Xuan willing to kill all over the house to protect her? ”

Aunt Yan looked at Ling Xi, who had a resolute attitude, she lowered her head and sighed softly, they just grabbed a mistake by Chen Xuan, Chen Xuan is a dead end, but how weak is Xiao Xiangxiang, who has rich experience in palace fighting? And these things collided together, once Xiang Hongxuan investigated deeply, could Ling Xi explain the original reasons? It has no effect except to make the suspicion between the emperor and queen deeper.

It's a pity that the pain in Ling Xi's heart at this moment has already corroded his eyes, not only making Ling Xi unable to see the situation clearly, but also gradually losing his mind. Aunt Yan stopped talking, and she silently walked towards the Flying Feather Palace.

.....................................................................................................................

Xiang Hongxuan dragged his head with his hands, and sat in the Feiyu Hall a little tiredly, he didn't sleep all night last night, because Xiyue vomited and diarrhea, and made a fuss for half the night, and because his mind kept flashing the deaths of the princes, he couldn't sleep at night. His red eyes were full of doubt and anger.

If he just knew that Chen Xuan might be related to Xiang Ziqiu's death last night, he was full of grief and anger, so that he didn't have time to doubt and associate with Pianpin, and this night's tossing and turning seemed to make him smell the conspiracy of the death of several princes.

"Chen Xuan, you still haven't recruited from the truth?"

Xiang Hongxuan roared, Chen Xuan had already been frightened to the point that his body was in a cold sweat, he couldn't help but look down at his arms, there was a strand of yellow hair in his arms, this was quietly handed to him by a small palace person when he came to deliver food last night, although the palace person didn't say anything, but he knew that she was a person from Guan Ju Palace.

Chen Xuan took a deep breath, he raised his head slightly, and showed Xiang Hongxuan the panic and helplessness on his face, as if only by doing so, he could be rescued, Chen Xuan seemed to have great courage, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister is guilty." ”

Xiang Hongxuan

sneered, Chen Xuan once said such a thing in front of him, but at that time, Chen Xuan told Xiang Hongxuan that Ling Xi's miscarriage was inevitable, even if Chen Xuan did give Ling Xi an abortion pill, Chen Xuan was innocent. So what now? The same rhetoric, Xiang Hongxuan doesn't believe it, is it still the same story?

"What is your sin?" Xiang Hongxuan asked coldly.

In an instant, Chen Xuan's face left two lines of tears, and Chen Xuan didn't know if these tears were because of remorse or helpless hope. He convulsed, choked up and said: "Your Majesty, the minister did increase the dose of tranquilizer in the decoction of the four princes, but the minister just wanted the four princes to sleep more peacefully, and the minister did not expect that the four princes would die inexplicably." ”

Xiang Hongxuan hooked the corners of his mouth suspiciously, and Chen Xuan's trembling expression in front of him didn't seem to be lying.

"What do you mean to die inexplicably? And why do you want to increase the dose of tranquilizers? ”

Chen Xuan slammed his head on the ground, wept bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is confused for a while, seeing that the weather is getting colder and colder, and the asthma of the four princes cannot be cured, I am afraid that it will fall to the root of the disease, and the minister is just worried that His Majesty will punish the minister." That night, the four princes cried non-stop, couldn't sleep peacefully, and would inevitably be invaded by the cold wind, the minister thought that even if he used heavy medicine, Zhu Meiren would take care of the four princes all night, and that night the minister was guarding in the outhouse, and it should be fine, but he never thought that the four princes died under Zhu Meiren, and the minister was really unintentional. ”

Xiang Hongxuan got up angrily, he threw the medicine residue bags on several cases in front of Chen Xuan, and said angrily: "According to what you said, the death of the fourth prince has nothing to do with you, so why don't you leave the palace at night and run to the Drunken Cloud Pavilion to find this thing." ”

Xiang Hongxuan didn't believe a word of Chen Xuan's words, Chen Xuan's strange behavior of easily sneaking into the Drunken Cloud Pavilion to find medicine residue was difficult to convince Xiang Hongxuan that Xiang Ziqiu's death was an accident, and it was an accident that had little to do with Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan saw Xiang Hongxuan's angry look, he knew that his excuse was a little weak, he immediately climbed to Xiang Hongxuan's feet, he said unrelentingly: "Your Majesty, the minister deserves to die, but the minister went to find this bag of medicine residue, but he was a little weak and afraid of being implicated." Your Majesty, if you don't believe it, you can let the imperial doctors of the four courtyards examine this bag of dregs together, this decoction does have the possibility of making the prince die in his sleep, but as long as the people who keep watch at night are careful, the four princes should be fine, maybe the real cause of the prince's death is that he was crushed to death by the sleeping Zhu Meiren. ”

Chen Xuan struggled in front of Xiang Hongxuan, his answer was not only not what Xiang Hongxuan wanted to hear, but also made Xiang Hongxuan even more furious, Xiang Hongxuan rushed out of the door and shouted loudly: "Come on, send Chen Xuan to the Internal Guard Mansion, and tell the internal guards that at any cost, you must let Chen Xuan tell the truth." ”

Chen Xuan touched the yellow hair in his arms meaningfully, he was going to the Neiwei Mansion, and finally everything was going to end.

...................................................

.................................................................

Xiao Xiangxiang stood outside the Guanju Palace, a wisp of winter sun poured on her brocade clothes, she proudly looked around the Guanju Palace, this palace wrapped in colorful glazed tiles and vermilion palace walls, in this winter sunset, reflects a majestic wealth, this is the grace that Xiang Hongxuan gave her, and it is also the power that Xiang Hongxuan gave her.

She looked up to the west, and heard that the most magnificent palace in Dongyu's harem was the queen's Jiaofang Palace, she had never been to the Jiaofang Palace, so she didn't know what the wealth and majesty of the Jiaofang Palace were. But she wanted to see what she saw one day, but maybe the Jiaofang Hall would no longer be Ling Xi's by then. Thinking of this, Xiao Xiangxiang smiled happily, in this sunset, in this Guan Ju Palace, in her heart.

Lian Yingrong walked into Guanju Palace from outside the palace without hurrying, she came to Xiao Xiangxiang's side and said softly: "Niangniang, what are you looking at?" So happy. ”

Xiao Xiangxiang smiled at Lian Yingrong and said, "Auntie, it's nothing, have things been done?" ”

Lian Yingrong looked around vigilantly, and seeing that no one was nearby, she whispered: "The slave maid just inquired, at noon, Imperial Physician Chen couldn't stand the severe punishment of the Internal Guard Mansion, and lost his breath, Your Majesty already knows the death of Imperial Physician Chen and the confession that did not change his words, and the slave maid thinks that this matter will have a result soon." ”

Xiao Xiangxiang raised her eyebrows, she wanted to use internal guards to Hongxuan, Chen Xuan's confession, Xiang Hongxuan may not believe it.

"Auntie, there shouldn't be any fraud in this, I heard that the methods of the Neiwei Mansion are clever, and Chen Xuan has been in the Neiwei Mansion for a few days, maybe he has already told the truth, and the Neiwei Mansion is just secret?"

Lian Yingrong smiled confidently and said: "Imperial Physician Chen is a smart person, he was stolen by His Majesty, he can't tell, he has done enough for him to die ten times, after His Majesty left that night, Imperial Physician Chen saw the yellow hair in Mengqing's hand, he should know that his family can only be saved by Niangniang and Lord Zhou." Only if he recognizes these things and saves his mother, can his mother save his family. ”

"Auntie, do we really want to save Imperial Physician Chen's family?" Xiao Xiangxiang said worriedly.

Lian Yingrong sneered and said lightly: "Such a big crime as murdering the prince, and exterminating the nine clans is not enough to calm the pain in His Majesty's heart, not to mention that Imperial Physician Chen is dead, it is difficult to be able to make a ghost and turn over the confession, his family is not worth our risk." ”

Xiao Xiangxiang's face was still full of worry, and she asked with some doubts: "Auntie, why don't you let Imperial Doctor Chen push everything to the queen, didn't Aunt An participate in the affairs of those princes just to let the queen be a scapegoat at the right time?" ”

"Niangniang, originally the slave maid also thought so, but Lord Zhou said that after the queen is a hero, there is a descendant behind her, plus the friendship of saving Your Majesty when the queen's palace changes, unless the evidence is conclusive and the queen cannot refute, otherwise even Your Majesty will not easily ask the queen to blame. And if it's pulled at this time

Even to the queen, I am afraid that the descendants will not give up, and the courtiers of the previous dynasty will also have opinions, Lord Zhou said that if there is a three-division trial, His Majesty will also mix in the internal guards, and it is difficult to ensure that there are few capable ministers, and they can really find out these things, in that case, Niangniang, we will fall short. ”

Xiao Xiangxiang looked to the west with some disappointment, maybe Lian Yingrong and Zhou Xun were right, but it was a pity, but it was a pity that she was a little farther away from the reverie just now.
